Please add a feature to be able to import and export JEX files on Android for backups. This way if a user is on vacation for awhile and is away from their computer they can still easily backup their notes and restore their notes if needed.

This is one of the most important feature. I'm not using joplin on android because I have to export all notes from there that were not synchronized with joplincloud.

Same here. My notes already are quite big (images and so on), syncronizing doesn't really work as expected. I first thought I could export a \*.jex file, sync it via Dropbox and import it into the app, but no unfortunately, this is not possible.  
So yes, please BIG FEATURE REQUEST: make import/export available via \*.jex files!
